Application:

The support element is used as an extra support to prevent sagging and vibration of a workpiece.

Features:

Element with high load capacity and low height. Pneumatic: the plunger is normally retracted. Sensitive adjustment of contact force by varying the air pressure.

Note:

Support pin must be protected against the entry of dirt and splash water by fitting a set screw or plug. When placing into operation, ensure that all air is bled from the system. Failure to do so can cause destruction of the clamping element by the escaping diesel effect.

The supporting force should be matched to the clamping force in order to absorb machining forces. The supporting force should always be at least twice as high as the clamping force.
